ANDREW B. GRAHAM DANIEL O. ROSE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BURNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL 0. Rose, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, borough of Bronx, county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates more particularly to a self-governing gas burner.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a simple and efiicient device which may be attached to the ordinary gas fixture and in which the pressure of the gas to the tip may be automatically controlled so that the supply of gas will be uniform no matter what the pressure or flow of the gas may be, thus materially economizing in the amount of gas consumed, and at the same time permitting a sufiicient and proper amount of gas to be supplied to the burner tip for lighting purposes.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device which, may be easily and cheaply made and assembled so that the same will cost very little more than that of the ordinary gas burner.

A further object of the invention is to provide simple and etficient means which will prevent the gas from being entirely shut off in case of unusual pressure from any cause.

lVith these and other objects in view, the invention will be hereinafter more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification, and will then be pointed out in the claims at the end of the description.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of one form of device embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view taken on the line IIII of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a sectional plan view taken on the line IIIIH of Fig. 1.

The device or burner 10 has a casing 11 which may comprise two members 12 and 13. The supply member 13 may have the usual threaded part 14 adapted to be detachably held to the usual gas fixture 15, and said member 13 has an enlarged part or flange 16 which may be threaded so as to engage Specification of Letters Patent.

the threads 17 in the end of the burner member 12. This member 12 has an enlarged part 18 forming a chamber 19 within the same, and a reduced part 20 in which is adapted to fit the burner tip 21.

To control the gas or other medium and regulate the supply of the same to the burner tip and to partly or wholly out off the supply in case of excessive pressure, I arrange Within the casing a valve 22. This valve may be in the form of a ball, and is adapted to fit into a recess 23 forming a seat for the valve. The valve seat 23 is located within the chamber 19 of the casing, and in the member 13 is an opening 24: which is adapted to communicate with the fixture,

15 or source of supply, and which is controlled by the valve 22, and above the valve 22 in the path of movement of the same is a device or member 25. This member 25 is in the form of a tube, and has one end provided with a cap 26, and with lateral openings 27 for the escape of the gas, and said member 25 may be threaded, as at 27", to engage a threaded opening in a flange 28 extending transversely of the casing 11 of the member 12 above the enlarged chamber 19. The member 25 may be adjustable in the member 12 relatively to the valve seat 23, and the lower end thereof is adapted to form a seat for the valve so that the gas may be entirely shut off under excessive pressure or partly shut off according to whether or not the valve is resting against the seat 23 or the seat 29 of the member 25.

It will be understood that the valve 22 is of such a size and weight that it will be raised from the seat 23 under the normal pressure of the gas so that the proper amount of gas or other medium may pass through the member 25, but in case of excessive pressure, the said valve will be forced against the seat 29 of the member 25 to entirely shut ofi the gas or only a part thereof according to the pressure. By this means the supply of gas to the burner tip may be automatically controlled no matter what the pressure may be, and said device will economize in the use of gas, as much waste often occurs where a number of burners are connected to a single fixture and only a part of the same lighted, for in this case the entire pressure will pass to one or more of the lighted burners, and this excess of gas is in the nature of waste.

It is best not to permit the valve 22 under any conditions to entirely shut ofi the gas by engaging the seat 29 of the device or member and for this purpose a screw or device 30 has its threaded part passed through a threaded opening in the member 12, and may have its inner end pointed, as at 31, and interposed between the member and the valve As will be seen, by adjusting the screw 30, the movement of the valve 22 may be limited so that the passage way through the member 25 will not be en tirely cut oil, and the extent of this regulation may be varied by the distance the end 31 extends inward over the valve 22. This will prevent the gas from being out 011 in case of undue pressure and thereby put out the light, and after the pressure is reduced allow the gas to escape which might result in accidents.

A screw 31 forming a valve is located in the member 13 and is adapted to partly or wholly close the passage or openin 24- for the under the valve 22. This prevents crowding of the valve to one side by excessive pressure as a part or all of the gas may be cut oii' by adjusting the screw 31.

From the foregoing it will be seen that a simple and etlieient governing burner for gas is provided which will automatically regulate the flow of gas to the burner tip; that simple means is provided for controlling the gas or other medium, and that said device may be readily made and assembled so that the cost will not exceed to any great extent that of the ordinary form of burner.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent-:
